Sandy Gross, founder of
Definitive Technology, is the Mark
McGwire of hi-fi. Somehow, this
guy has been able to come up with
one incredible speaker home run
after another. As a result, there are
two problems when reviewing a
Def Tech speaker system. The first
is that there has been so much
praise and adulation
penned in
the past that
it’s hard to
be compli-
mentary
without
being repeti-
tive. The
second prob-
lem comes
when it’s
time to pack
up the
speakers and
ship them
away. You
start bab-
bling wild
excuses to
extend the
deadline.
“My cousin’s cat died … so much
stress … I haven’t had time to lis-
ten. I need another week….”
Eventually, though,
the painful time
comes, and there
you are with tears
and packing tape,
handing off your
newfound loves to
an oblivious UPS
guy. “Treat them
gently,” you beg
the guy in brown.
(Man, it’s tough
being a reviewer.)
Undaunted, I
jumped at the
chance to review
the latest home
theater system
from Def Tech.
Even if you’re not a baseball fan,
you’ve probably heard of Mark
McGwire. After crushing the pre-
vious single-season home-run
record a couple of years ago,
McGwire continues to pound the
ball out of the park to the delight
of Cardinals fans everywhere. Yet,
despite his imposing form and
incredible swing, McGwire (like
most power hitters) strikes out
with some regularity. Of course,
who’s going to complain to a guy
who has hit 72 home runs in a
single season?
“With the
BP2006TL
system,
Definitive
Technology
has hit the
ball out of
the park —
and I don’t
think it
has come
down yet.”
